Rembrandt and the Passion

Sep 15, 2012 - Dec 02, 2012

This must-see exhibition is one of the most significant to be staged by The Hunterian in its 200 year history.

Rembrandt and the Passion offers a unique opportunity to see one of The Hunterian’s most famous paintings, Rembrandt’s Entombment Sketch, alongside a number of key international loans, including masterpieces never seen before in Scotland.

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 - 1669) is considered to be the most famous of all Dutch artists and one of Europe’s greatest painters and printmakers.

Rembrandt and the Passion tells the story of his Entombment Sketch and explains how it influenced one of the most important commissions of Rembrandt’s career. The exhibition also goes behind the scenes in his studio, uncovering his painting process, inspiration and the techniques he used.
